CHEwED HIS HAT.
A Sleeping Hunter VINO was Found BY
a Stray Antelope.

AT least one of a party of three young
gentlemen who went out hunting
the other day had a rather novel exper-
fence. As the story goes, while riding
about with therather seductive object:of
coming within hailing distance of an an.
telope, the young man got tired and dis
mounting stretched himself on the grass
to rest. In a few moments he fell asleep.
1t IS well known that curiosity is one of
the great attributes of an antelope and
when n of the tribe noticed the form
of the outstretched sleeper from a neigh
boring knoll it : relied about for a little
while and then warily bore down on the
object. After many false starts and
much apparent t%repidation it reached the
young mans side, shifted down the
ba rrel of his rifle, which seemed to greatly
interest it, and finally in a fit of abstrac,
ton began to chew the brim of the young
mans hat. While engaged in this occu-
patton the animal accidentally stepped on
the sleeper's chin. The youth opened his
eyes with a start, the antelope took fright
and before the young man was really
awake to the situation the fleet footed
brute was paving the earth half a mile
away. That was the only antelope any of
the party saw that day, but in the evening
when they went to their room in a neigh
boring ranch a pet antelope jumped out in
the darkness and startlad tham lilo on

Miss Maggie Mitchell closed her en-
gagement in this city last evening when
Lorle was presented at the opera house.
The play is in nearly every respect supe-
rior to the one given on the previous
evening. The action of the play is more
rapid, the dialogue is more direct and the
termination equally happy and much
more reasonable. During her present
engagement Miss Mitchell has strongly
emphasized the high opinion which Chey-
enne theater goers had heretofore enter
tanned of her talents.

The postmaster general is evidently be-
ginning to realize that the citizens of this
section are as much in need of mail facili-
ties as denizens of more eastern localities.
Offices have recently been established at
Wheatland, on the Cheyenne & Northern;
Archer, a few miles east of this city, and
Spring Hill, a settlement near Bordeaux,
on the Cheyenne 4 Northern. Jas. A.
johnson, well known in this city, has been
appointed postmaster at Wheatland.

1t is with regret that many citizens will
learn that Mr.. T. j. Tlernev has relin-
pushed the management of the Cheyenne
Telephone exchange to accept a position
with the Electric Light company. He has
been succeeded by Mr.. l.. l.. Pratt, of
Salt Lake, who has recently presided over
the exchange at Haley, Idaho. Mr..
Pratt is a pleasant and agreeable young
gentleman.
During Mr.. Tierney's management of
the exchange he has kept it IN perfect or

Up On the Cheyenne & northern.

j. H. McAlvin, the Union Pacific town
lot agent, is very enthusiastic over the
prospects of his pet prospective metropo-
lis, IVA, and ventures the assertion that
the new burg at the Laramie river cross
ing of the Cheyenne & Northern will boom
with the advent of spring. He reports
that SI2, 900 worth of city lots have already
been sold and that the demand for Iva
property is still quite brisk. Several
large buildings are now in course of cree
ton, with many more contemplated. The
town will always be a good shipping point
and is surrounded by a region rich in nat
ural resources.
A new town will soon be plated at the
Platte river crossing of the Cheyenne &
Northern.

may be considered pretty high for

THE nRUMmERY TAX.

The Slate Treasurer Of North Caro-
lima, Mr.. d. W. Balm, has instructed
for the collection Of the tax levied on
drummers by the Legislature Of that
State, in dec ,nce Of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. Mr.. Balm says,
in explanation OF his extraordinary
position, that
The Federal Courts decision was upon the
con truotion Of a LEGAL statute Of tho state
Of Tennessee, containing many PROVISIONS
Carolina statute. The sections in our revo-
nue. aot imposing this tax have quito recent
ly been before our own coutts-btate VS..
Long, rs N. o. Rep, and after full argument
sad 'h2TSngh SSnsfs5a9ton sae supreme tHns
were mot 10 conflict with the Consultation of
tho United States. Until this judgment 10
reverted By some competent tribunal IL will
DO recognised as the law by this department,
aud tho prompt oOl lectiOn OF the tax referred
TO will DO required Of all persons charged
herewith.
In this we think Mr.. Balm is in er-
ror. The decision of the Supreme
Court is plain. A drummers' tax ia
unconstitutional, and any attempt to
levy one by any State in the Union
can be resisted by an appeal to the
nearest Federal Court and Marshal.
As the Charlotte Observer clearly p2inte
out, 1.-THE law in regard to rssiden,
dtummsrs holds good. But the
Supreme Court OF the United
States, which all acknowledge has gu
preme authority and jurisdiction In
this matter, II being a Fedora
question, has said that no Slatt
has power to pats any statute
OF the nature OF the drummsrs' tax al
levied In the revenue bill. Mr.. BAir
proposes to 20 on and collect the tar
from non resident drummers. II,
must do II through the Sheriffs Of tn,
respective counties. The Sheriffs ar,
liable, Mr.. Balm Is not. Suppose tn,
Sheriff Of Meoklenburg county arrest
q nonresident drummer for the non
payment OF the tax. A wri
OF habeas corpus would be suet
out before Judge Dick imme
diately and the prisoner woul'
almost certainly be discharged. Al
action would Immediately lie agaius
the Sheriff for falee imprisonment, al
sault aud battery, and a recovery I
damages would follow" There
not court in any State in the Unio
that would dare override the opil
ion OF the Supreme Court by re'usin
to visit the penalties Of the Law upo
the offending Sheriffs.

THE MIDLAND RAILROAD.

The County Court Of Fayetto county

pie the question Of aiding in the con-
struction Of the Midland railroad by
an appropriation Of $4,000 in five per
cent. bonds to run twenty years, sub
jeot to call. This Is doing we'll and must
be very encouraging to the projectors
OF an enterprise that SHOULD have been
ompleted years ago. And il would
have been had not the on
gineeriDg difficulties been 30 great as
to deter railroad men from graphing
with them. II built, as we hope II
will be, it will do more to develop the
hidden resources Of the State than all
the railroads now in existence put to-
gether. 1t will run through the great
iron, and coal and lime fields Of the
S,a.e, and either directly through
or near 10 our most
beautiful and thriving towns aud
cities. The completion Of II at cost
of 100000 to the Slate would be The
cheapest purchase the people ever
made. We congratulate the people Of
Faye.te on their pluck and enterprise
